This is such a close game that needed overtime and a shootout to decide the winner. Both teams went scoreless on the power play, showing a defensive effort throughout the depth in each of their lineups. This game was about who was going to break first, and unfortunately, the Broncos early penalties created some momentum for the Warriors and they capitalized on that momentum, but more importantly, were able to sustain it throughout the game.
